Audio: José James’ “Closer” From Love In A Time Of Madness

Already one of the last decade’s favorite vocalists, José James is out to prove there’s no genre, or career, that he can’t perfect. James dropped the audio to “Closer,” the second single off his forthcoming record Love In A Time Of Madness. We covered the release of the video for the first single, but in case you missed it, the new album drops February 24 on Blue Note Records. The new record isn’t the only news, though. James will be making his big screen debut early next month with a performing role in Fifty Shades Darker. The unstoppable James seems intent on reinventing himself in the name of furthering his artistic development. In his words, “Movement has been on my mind. Not just hearts and minds—I want people to hit the dance floor. I could make jazz albums the rest of my life, but I want to reach people, man. I like Jamie xx as much as I like Miles Davis, you know?” Scroll down for the audio to “Closer,” and head over to his website for more info and tour dates.
